The grandmother told officers that on Sunday her granddaughter, 46, came to her home in the 200 block of Sparks Drive and wanted her debit card and wallet. The victim told her no; she said she was hit in the head with something and knocked unconscious. The woman was unconscious until about 4 p.m. Monday afternoon when her daughter came to the house.

SHOT FIRED: Battle Creek police said a woman, thinking a burglar was inside, accidentally fired a shot into the ceiling of her home in the first block of Ashland Avenue. Officers were called at 1:30 a.m. Thursday for a possible burglary and then for a shot fired. A 26-year-old resident told officers she heard glass breaking in the basement and believed it was someone trying to enter the house. The woman's mother, 55, said she believed someone was trying to enter the house, so she attempted to load her gun. She said it discharged, striking the ceiling but not injuring anyone. Police said they found no evidence of a break-in but that the window had been cracked for some time and that the glass apparently fell.
